... as soon as it becomes apparent that the movie is not really interesting to me yet I still want to figure out what "everyone" was seeing in it.

I'll also skip to the last episode of some limited series and speed through it if I don't find the first episode intriguing. If the ending doesn't annoy me I'll go back and watch the entire series in order. Funny thing is I never do this with books.
